      ABSTRACT

      Very little is known about the firm of Sherwood Neely except that it had a shop in Paternoster Row. Time's Telescope for 1814; or a Complete Guide to the Almanac: Containing an Explanation of Saints 'Days and Holidays is an interesting annual anthology. 'Aspland credits Jeremiah Joyce with the 'Astronomical Parts' and Elizabeth Joyce simply lists Time's Telescope as Joyce's. Analysis of the 'Astronomical Occurrences' reveals Joyce's literary style and much of the subject matter is strikingly reminiscent of other material by Joyce. Time's Telescope is notable for being the first almanac in which tables of barometer readings appeared. Where most of Joyce's other writings were targeted at particular reading audiences—middle class children of specific ages, teenagers, young men and attenders at Humphry Davy's lectures —his writing in Time's Telescope assumes a very general readership. Both Aspland and Elizabeth Joyce record Joyce's work on a new edition of John Campbell's Lives of the Admirals.
